It had been a rough year through out the land. The preemptive strike on the Hidden Villages had taken its toll. Stories would quickly arise, and then quickly fade, rumors ran a muck and crime was on the rise. As the Ninja villages stood there ground, as they fought back, internal strife caused bitter dividing in some villages. In other places, crime rate skyrocketed, with no ninja to actively stop such things, it just became worse and worse, until small pockets of criminals rose up and began claiming territory. With the elites handling daily Samurai assaults, such things fell upon the younger generations to strive towards.
A year of heavy losses for most, and even heavier tolls on the villages. Konohagakure lost two hokage's during the invasion, one which disappeared into the deserts of Sunagakure, the other died by the hands of a traitor. Kumogakure hasn't faired much better, going through two Raikage's in a short amount of time. Both lost, last seen battling on a mountain before falling off. It is rumored that one of them might even be captured by the enemy, held in a frozen wasteland of unimaginable proportions. Kirigakure is marginally better, loosing quite a few numbers to the invaders, as well as the former Mizukage. Its latest Mizukage is perhaps the youngest seen in quite some time. It is rumored that the former Mizukage attacked Sunagakure during the exams, and went missing a short while afterwards. Its top Jounin also disappeared into the wilderness, and a majority of its chuunin, genin have long been killed. The only village seemingly holding its own is Sunagakure, its Kage remains defiant, and holds out in the desert fortress that is Sunagakure. Losing young-lings has taken its toll, but the desert wasteland has proved harder for the Samurai to march across, along with the massive sandstorms that sweep the area now and then, providing excellent defense.
The Samurai came swiftly, holding onto legendary swords for Kirigakure's past, how they got them, and who funded them is unknown, but they call themselves the Awaken Tigers. A scary, scary group indeed. With such heavy losses, the Damiyo of the villages are worried about the final strike, but the Kage's are more worried about surviving than anything else. Which is why perhaps the youngest among them has called a meeting. Under the pretenses of Chuunin Exams, the Kage's will gather, in there entire strength to stand firm and finally lay these Samurai to rest. But all is not well in the land, decimated by criminals, local lords have sprung up, taking hostage trade routes, nearly crippling the Hidden Villages of food, and resources.
- Spoiler:
In each village, one area has been lost, and needs to be cleared out, before resources can once again flow. This area holds key resources, meaning nobody get's paid until that area is taken back, as well it being key, that loss means no food, which means no cuisine until it is taken back. The area's are as follows
Konoha - The Grasslands
Suna - Howling Deserts
Kiri - Snowy Edges
Kumo - Alps of Thunder
Now, each place will be controlled by a local warlord, each with a unique specialty, each with a unique trait, and each with a unique bonus upon defeating them. Since the exams are coming up, we will use this as an opportunity to train and develop the teams in a short time. There will be two generic missions, NPC'd by the jounin team leader. Only two teams can take this mission at best, however as stated, the NPC has to be done by a jounin team leader, it can be done with a Tob. Jounin as well, but two teams at MOST. I can't stress that enough. One team can handle it fine.
Name: Investigate missing Resources (Plot)
Rank: C
Type: NPC/PC
Reward: 90,000 ryu and 75 exp + 10 exp per person if its a full team of three.
Participants: A team consisting of Genin and 1 Leader (Tob. Jounin/Jounin) x2 (Meaning at best, two teams)
Post Requirements: At least 4 posts from each person
Other Information: No missions may be added or tied in with this, period
This will allow the teams to come together and investigate. Leading them to discover just who is behind such a thing. Each region will have its own boss, however the boss will not be present, only there second in command, who I'll add in much less potent.
Konoha - Grasslands - Boss
- Spoiler:
Code Name - Zero
Sunagakure - Howling Desert - Boss
- Spoiler:
- Code Name - Rust
Kumo - Alps of Thunder - Boss -
- Spoiler:
- Code Name - Dra
Kiri - Snowy Edges - Boss -
- Spoiler:
- Code Name - Blizzard
A little information will be gained of each. It will include the following
Zero - Technite (CUS KKG) - Sensory Mastery - Zero's Runner (Unique Speciality) Armor protects against all but the strongest physical blows (Anything above 4th Gate)
Rust - Engineer (CUS KKG) - Puppet Mastery - Shifting Sands (Unique Trait) Full Mechomorph Puppet Suit ( Will type up)
Dra - Dragoon (CUS KKG) - Ijutsu Mastery - Dra's Dragoon (Unique Specialty) Able to use Medical Jutsu without any handseals or timers (Dragon on his shoulder provides amazing healing)
Blizzard - Yuki (KKG) - Ninjutsu Mastery - Insane Powers (Unique Trait) Wind and Water jutsu's have little to no effect on him (Has to be above A rank to even hinder him, otherwise he just freezes it with no chakra cost)
After finding out such things, there are still mysteries, if a kage is smart enough, they will notice that each has a trait or specialty, meaning that only one half is known. Each of them has a unique trait and specialty, as well as a fairly unique and awesome bonus. The other 1/2 includes the other trait/specialty and the bonus they have. (Usually an item)
However, the bosses won't be there, SURPRISE SURPRISE
Only second in command (Or if its two teams, second and third in command)
Information is as follows (This is the NPC said Tob. Jounin/Jounin will NPC)
- Spoiler:
Code Name - Fan-tasmial
Name: Defeat Fan-tasmial (Plot)
Rank: A
Type: NPC/PC
Reward: 250,000 ryu + 200 exp (Extra 10 per person if its a full team of three)
Participants: A team consisting of Genin and 1 Leader (Tob. Jounin/Jounin) x2 (Meaning at best, two teams)
Post Requirements: Genin must defeat said Fan-tasmial while Jounin/Tob. Jounin searches for the boss (Ironically who isn't there)
Other Information: No missions may be added or tied in with this, period. Tob. Jounin/Jounin can in no way help there teams, they are NPC's and thus have to be removed from the combat topic, they are off in search of the boss. There is a small margin for death, Tob. Jounin/Jounin will frown upon death, however they are bad guys, so death is quite a reality since its genin vs an A rank ninja (Or B rank ninja depending on the teams) B rank ninja always goes for the team of two if there is one, or if its a team of three, two A rank ninja's.
For those NPCing Fan-tasmial
- Spoiler:
Name: Fan-tasmial
Gender: Male or Female (Choice is yours)
Rank: A
Village: Unknown
Elements: Wind and Fire
Bloodline: None
Combat Specialties/Professions: 8 Basic's
- Taijutsu
- Ninjutsu
- Genjutsu
- Medical
- Sensory
- Weaponry (including Kenjutsu) - Mastery
- Fuuinjutsu
- Puppetry
- Alchemist
- Engineer
The remaining four, you get to place however you like
Total Starting Experience:Jutsus: 800 EXP to spend however NPC wishes
Weapons: Name: Fan-tasmials Fan
Design: Large or Small Fan (Depending on Gender)
Function : Used to Blow away attacks and ninja
Special abilities: Blow Back - May blow back C rank and under jutsu's (includes genjutsus, this is a special ability, so all jutsu's are effected)
Laughing Fire - Using the fan, the Fan-tasmial laughs and launches two or three large fireballs at his enemies, (depending on the team) they are slightly homing (within two feet) and each drain a D rank worth of chakra per hit, doing no other damage. (Can use once every 5 posts with no chakra cost, otherwise its a C rank worth of chakra)
Com-busiken - Upon his defeat, Fan-tasmial in a effort to destroy said opponents, sucks them in using a A rank vacuum jutsus, before exploding in a A rank fireball (S rank power due to vacuum) Team-mate must help each other to escape the vacuum, those that leave team mates behind, those team-mates die if acceptable conditions are met. This jutsu destroys his fan and any loot on him.
With this, the land is once again reclaimed for said village, and the teams can go off to the exam a little bit stronger and wiser, or dead if they choose not to be a team.
After the exams, it will be found out more information, and those teams (hopefully they ranked up) will be asked to complete the mission once and for all, this time instead of that jounin leader, they will be asked to go with the ANBU commander, or head Jounin (If there isn't a ANBU yet). If there are two teams, both need to be Jounins (To NPC of course)
Each of them will be traveling to a minor village. Which it is found out, that while the genin were attacking Fan-tasmial, they boss was busy securing a land for them, with its own base of operations.
Each of these minor villages are taking major resources, due to the Kage's attempts to stop this Samurai invasion. So, upon defeating the boss, they will flee to somewhere else, no amount of "Death attacks or kill shots" will kill them, they will escape when the "heat" is on so to speak. Remember, these will be S rank ninja's, so please warn and continue to warn the teams you are with that there will be no holding back, on either end. Death is possible and of course foolish behavior will result in death (recklessness etc etc)
The Boss NPC's will be typed up completely, full of jutsu's or items if they are of a civilian nature.
This plot will lead into one final act, in Land of Iron, which will defeat the Samurai menace once and for all.
- Spoiler:
Everyone has been blissfully unaware, the samurai attacks were only a mild distraction. The real threat was mounting, the death and blood of those Samurai were needed to formulate into one final act of destruction. The Serpent has awaited this moment for quite some time, he picked his moment to strike, when the villages were feeling secure and finally rested. He wanted to humiliate them, to crush them under his feet. He used his own men as fuel for his revenge, he used them for there powers, to gain what he needed, to obtain what was lost. This is a tale that won't bode well for anyone, the shambles it shall leave will be, abhorrently legendary, and perhaps wipe out some villages all together.
At this point, only those who went on the mission understand what is happening, and know the true evil that lurks behind this plan. Once all the "bosses" have gathered in Land of Iron, the ritual will be complete. With the Awaken Tiger's bodies and souls being used as fodder so to speak, The Serpent being his final act of vengeance. Each Kage is Summoned, without hope of escape, for that was the intention of these Samurai attacks, to gain a piece of the Kage to summon them to Land of Iron.
Once the Kage's are gone, in a rather vanishing act, those same teams that did the very first mission (those who are alive of course) will be sent out to save there Kage's by the ANBU commanders, who will remain behind in the village to defend it, as without a Kage, the village is severely weak, weak enough too need all of its Tob. Jounin/Jounin to defend it. (This means only those original participants can go, no one else)
Arriving in Land of Iron, they find the Kage's chained up using the Chakra Chains technique, binding them for some sort of "Fury" style jutsu to destroy the villages using the Kage's own power. Each team will try to free there's kage's before noticing occurs (4 posts to break a SS rank jutsu known as Chakra Chains Barrier) If they fail they are attacked, if they succeed the Kage is free to help them.
Once free, those bosses show up again, ready and willing to openly attack the students and kage (if free). If the Kage is not freed, the students have to free him and fight the Boss at the same time.
After one page, The Serpent will show up, and using a radical and Kinjutsu of unobtainable thought, he uses the Body Splitting Technique to Split into 4 different parts, each a S rank ninja level, each of them going to fight/aid the Bosses. All 4 parts must be defeated within 10 posts of each other, otherwise they have a chance to reform and attack again. (There will be 4 different topic's, so say the Serpent is defeated in Topic one on post 35, and in topic two at post 38, and topic three at 40, but topic four at 48. That means that 10 posts have elapsed, and the Serpent shows up again, most likely from the ceiling to attack the team.)
Now, who will RP as these Serpent Parts. The Bosses will be NPC'd by the Tob. Jounin/Jounin the body guards, and the ANBU Commander or head Jounin will NPC the Serpent. It should be a Four V 2 fight, with the odds against them, but as time goes on, it will be more advantageous towards the two, as the revival of the Serpent.
Note: The Serpent will be all typed up, and a regular strength S rank, they will NOT be like the Samurai that attacked the village, where they can withstand "ultimate" attacks and such, a kunai through the eye will work just as well, no plot armor for these guys. And yes, it will be possible to One Hit Kill these guys. The Kage's life is in the hands of his team, which means of course, if the team fails to free him before the Serpent shows up, the Serpent uses that barrier to try and kill the Kage's, which will most likely work unless something drastic happens. *Like say the teams refuse to free the Kage, then most likely death will occur, but the teams should more than not free the Kage in time*
There is no cross topicing, meaning if I defeat him, I can't join Genesis to help him defeat his Serpent. Large rewards will be given, large bonuses, and perhaps some rare loot that will be typed up. (Most of it will be a one person loot style, meaning if the Kage dies, goes inactive or leaves/quits, the item is lost forever, non-transferable stuff)
So thoughts??
